Nylon nut insert for forward most arm rest bolt - 68 F100

Post by poke em »

I have looked all over for a replacement for this part. I cannot find a part number or any other reference to this. The only parts I can find for armrest clips are the metal ones for the middle and rear bolts. Does anyone have info on a part number or source for this?

The only thing that I have found is this ebay ad for australian XA arm rests. The hardware includes the plastic clips that I am looking for. There's got to be a source in the USA for these

Mine have the metal clips in all three positions. All of my Fairlanes are the same. I assume the plastic was obsoleted because they pulled out.
